Course description
If you’re interested in pursuing a management career within industry, this course combines advanced mechanical engineering subjects with management modules that have been specifically designed for engineers. As part of your studies, you’ll also have the chance to further explore a subject that interests you through your individual research project.
Previous study
To give you a fair chance of succeeding on your course, we need to make sure you have enough experience in relevant subjects. All of our MSc courses are designed for students who have completed a degree similar to our BEng Mechanical Engineering.
Many of our MSc students come from different subject backgrounds, including aerospace, automotive, civil and marine engineering courses, as well as mechatronics, manufacturing, mathematics and physics.
We would like to see evidence of experience in the key subject areas listed below:
- Solid mechanics
Mohr's circle, 2D elasticity including plane stress and plane strain, bending of beams, buckling of columns, plasticity, fracture mechanics.
- Statics, dynamics and control
Equilibrium, free body diagrams, kinematics and kinetics of mechanisms, vibrations, resonance, block diagram representation of feedback control, Laplace domain models.
- Fluid mechanics
Laminar and turbulent flows, Reynolds number, Bernoulli’s equation, calculation of pressure drop in pipework.
- Thermodynamics and heat transfer
First and Second Laws, Carnot, Rankine and Otto cycles, general conduction equation, convection, Nusselt number, emissivity, view factors.
We would normally expect to see a strong performance in these subjects on your transcript. If you have studied these topics as part of modules with very different titles, you will need to indicate this on your application form.
Accreditation
This course is accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers and meets, in part, the academic requirements for Chartered Engineer status. Our MSc graduates who also have an accredited BEng (Hons) will be able to show they have met all the academic requirements for Chartered Engineer (CEng) status.
Please see our University website for the most up-to-date course information.
Entry Requirements / Admissions
Minimum 2:1 undergraduate honours degree in mechanical engineering or a related subject.
You should have a strong background in those modules most relevant to this course. Please see the previous study section above for more details on what we expect.
We may also consider your application if you do not meet the standard academic requirements but you have relevant professional experience.
We also consider a wide range of international qualifications:
Overall IELTS score of 6.5 with a minimum of 6.0 in each component, or equivalent.
Pathway programme for international students
If you're an international student who does not meet the entry requirements for this course, you have the opportunity to apply for a pre-masters programme in Science and Engineering at the University of Sheffield International College. This course is designed to develop your English language and academic skills. Upon successful completion, you can progress to degree level study at the University of Sheffield.
